MedAssist Program (click here for online application)
The focus of the MedAssist Program is to secure Federal and State funding (i.e. Social Security, Disability, Medicaid, or Kentucky DSH) for uninsured patients. MedAssist utilizes a social services approach to help uninsured patients secure such funding. These efforts include face-to-face interviews with patients (even visiting patients at their homes to assist them with the application process), filing necessary paperwork on their behalf, and acting as a patient advocate.

Hospital Sponsored Financial Assistance Program (click here for online application)
The Hospital Sponsored Financial Assistance Program ensures that all individuals are able to receive medically necessary care regardless of their ability to pay. This program provides substantial relief from hospital bills if the patient's family income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Patients must complete an application to be eligible for this financial assistance and provide proof of household income.
